Year 2035 will be the announcement of a new face lift on all the current models.

Tesla has milked it before so why not...

In all seriousness, the design of the S is timeless, what a masterpiece.

By 2035, I’ll be more concerned about catheter changes than software updates

Just been told that BEVs are dead and all the manufacturers are moving over to hydrogen, well I was convinced.

I did mention 3 times the cost for fuel cell and around 5 times for combustion hydrogen and e-fuels but apparently that's not right, again convincing I thought.

Hydrogen charging points may need a bit of attention…

Next you're going to tell me the few hydrogen fuel stations are closing down

The ozone layer has become so fragile that flatulence has been made illegal. Brussels sprouts are now class A vegetables and the favourite commodity sold by county line gangs.

Me and all my mates have been driven around in Robotaxis for years.

You early adopters trying all these novel solutions - what are you like, eh?

I'd pay to watch them glueing themselves to wind farm blades...

2035. Nuclear war happened. Were all dead

Now who’s going to change my catheter?

Only request I would have is that the very first Nuke hits the houses of parliament on a Wednesday around noon - and bask in the glory of seeing them F*****d before me.

2035: First leg of HS2 completed. Oh no sorry, that’s reality!

.and postmasters start getting compensation for Horizon

Perfect. The crows and vultures will be happy to enjoy some free BBQ, then go poop on their inefficient ICE vehicles.

Natural cycle.

It’s 2035 and the car resto tv shows viewing figures have fallen off a cliff.
Wheeler Dealers now has the mechanic every week saying “it’s either the battery, the motor or the body computer” before plugging in a laptop. They then have to pad out the remaining 57 minutes.

A Swiss made hydrogen train has just set a new record of going 1,700 miles non stop in the US, and it wasn't even a massive hydrogen tank, so you might only need to top up every couple of months. I'm doubtful over hydrogen in cars for lots of reasons but we shouldn't dismiss the notion their might be an alternative to current battery tech and pouring electrons slowly into a battery.

Current Battery tech could become the new horse and all people want is a faster charging horse.

Absolutely agree. My comment was frivolous.

The train PoC is an odd application, given trains travel to pre-defined, limited locations via set routes. The electrification of lines via track or o/h cables seems trivial when you’re building out the rail infra anyway.

Would love to see hydrogen gain traction (no pun intended) in commercial air travel. At 3x the energy density of JetA it would seem to lend itself to a punchy gas-jet burn for takeoff then a gas- electric turboprop for cruise.
